Keeping you in the loop with Sharesies.
1,000+ Thank You’s!
In less than 2 weeks from Sharesies Beta going live we gained 1,000 customers.
Since our last Loop, our key metrics have gone ↑↑↑:
- 4,773 followers on Facebook (↑19%)
- 1,096 active Sharesies customers (+6,347%) 🎉. These customers have invested and paid subscription.
Over the next few weeks we will be focussed on:
- Adding new features to our Beta
- Becoming a PIP (so we can offer a wider range of investments)
- Ramping up our marketing
Hustling
We’ve cut down our meetings over the last week and focussed on product development, marketing and chatting to our customers.
Product progress
- 80% of people who have signed up have invested!
- We got a bit handraulic this week sending out address verification letters 💌 — a process we will automate soon but wouldn’t be a true beta without some behind the scenes hustle ;)
Media
- Wellington Women three page spread
- This Sunday keep an eye out for us in Sunday Star Times and catch me on Radio Live chatting Sharesies to Vaughan Davis.
Driving up content = driving up leads
Asks
Can we please get your help with:
- Sign up to our beta www.sharesies.nz/signup. Tell everyone you know & let us know what you think.
- Share these updates.
Challenges / struggles
- Finding office space — but think we may have just locked something in.
- Being in beta is such a conflicting feeling — ½ super excited and can’t wait to see people using it and becoming investors….while other ½ feeling incredibly nervous as our beta doesn’t have all the bells and whistles we’ve got planned. Looking forward to adding some of these features very soon — such as tracking performance.
Shout outs & thank you!
